Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 5979
Received: 31/10/2017
Respondent: Mrs Anne Steventon
I support the continuation of the Leicester, Thurnby and Oadby green wedge as it is vital to protect the villages of Thurnby and Bushby. If this land is eroded, the villages will be subsumed by the Leicester urban sprawl and they will lose their character. I also support the extension of the Leicester, Scraptoft and Bushby green wedge. It is imperative that we protect these green lungs for the villages, improving air quality. It is a well advertised fact that Leicester city has very high pollution levels and anything which can protect the outlying villages from this, should be maintained.
